There is also an issue of motivation and putting in 10,000 hours to become an expert (and remain an expert).
It's the same in the software engineering, there is a shift from software engineering to managing SWE agents, with the associated loss of expertise.
It's a hard challenge, but it is not unique or impossible to solve. Aviation industry faced it long time ago with autopilots. Autopilots took over nearly all aspects of routine flight and left pilots without time/ability to practice their skills. While these skills are needed in an emergency. Well, the industry solves it through certification, training and simulation.
